$500,000 Marathon (Post time 4:45 p.m. ET): 1. – #2 The Rick Pitino-co-owned Cease, claimed for $100,000 three races ago, has the back class and faced far tougher. 2. #10 – Worldly was third in Churchill's Homecoming Classic. 3. -- #6 Indian Jones lost the 1 ½-mile Greenwood Cup by a nose and will be flying late. 4. Favored Ever Rider attempts to become the second straight South American horse to win this 1 3/4-mile race. But unlike stretch-running Calidoscopio, he is a front runner. Note: Consistent #3 Commander would be first horse from Western Canada to win a Breeders' Cup event.

$1 million Juvenile Turf (5:25 p.m. ET): 1. – Europeans have won four of the JT's six runnings. #5 Favored Pilgrim winner Bobby's Kitten could go wire to wire. 2. -- #2 Ireland's Giovanni Boldini could give trainer Aidan O'Brien, jockey Ryan Moore and the Coolmore owners their third consecutive win in this race – and the first in Breeders' Cup history with a horse born in West Virginia (albeit with Kentucky breeding and a $675K pricetag). 3. – #9 Wilshire Boulevard is the other O'Brien/Coolmore horse in race. 4. -- #1 Because he'll be a gazillion-to-1 and Lukas has been touting him, the maiden All Cash might be worth playing in bottom of superfectas.

$1 million Dirt Mile (6:05 p.m. ET): 1. -- #12 Goldencents has good stalking style, loves this track and why couldn't Pitino tack on a Breeders' Cup win to his Santa Anita Derby and NCAA championship this year? 2. #10 Verrazano can be brilliant at shorter distances. 3. –#1 Taptowne will be a big price, has been working well and is dappled all over. 4. -- #11 Churchill's Ack Ack winner Pants On Fire offers good value at 6-1.

$1 million Juvenile Fillies (6:50 p.m. ET): 1. #2 Britain's Al Thakhira is touted by the same Euro source who gave me 26-1 Mile winner Domedriver in 2002. 2. -- #6 France's 4-for-5 Vorda is the one to beat if she'll stay the mile. 3. -- #8 Chriselliam of England is a Group 1 winner over fast turf. 4. -- #14 Alcibiades winner My Conquestadory is hurt by post.

$2 million Distaff (7:35 p.m. ET): 1. -- #4 Royal Delta gets her three-peat and trainer Bill Mott his four-peat. This is the race Mott has pointed the two-time champ for. 2. -- #3 Close Hatches is doing fabulous and could upset her older stablemate. 3. #5 Beholder will have to deal with all the speed but loves this track; has advantage post position outside other speed. 4. -- #6 The speed should set it up for #6 Princess of Sylmar if Beldame and long campaign didn't take too much out of her.
